With less than a month to go to the launch of Building Banking on Values, a new VoiceAmerica radio series I’m hosting that goes behind the scenes to tell the stories of the people, passion and positivity within the values-based banking and financing sector; I thought to introduce you to some of our guests.

Meet Brendan Reimer: Strategic Partner, Values-Based Banking at Assiniboine Credit Union (Canada).

Brendan is Assiniboine’s Strategic Partner of Values-based Banking. As the former Manitoba Regional Director at the Canadian CED Network, member of the Social Enterprise Council of Canada, former board member at LITE and former member of ACU’s Board of Directors, Brendan is a passionate educator and organiser dedicated to creating inclusive, fairer, and more sustainable economies and communities.

Brendan’s primary responsibilities in Assiniboine are to act as strategic adviser to the CEO and senior management team on values-based banking initiatives; support the Board and committees to meet the objectives set out in ACU’s Values-based Banking Policy and action framework; and help ACU embed the principles and practices of values-based banking into the credit union’s core functions and daily work. Ultimately this work helps further Assiniboine’s reputation as a values-based banking leader – locally, nationally and internationally. Learn more.
